Nick Desaulniers 4c973f7507 x86/entry: Emit a symbol for register restoring thunk
commit 5e6dca82bcaa49348f9e5fcb48df4881f6d6c4ae upstream.

Arnd found a randconfig that produces the warning:

  arch/x86/entry/thunk_64.o: warning: objtool: missing symbol for insn at
  offset 0x3e

when building with LLVM_IAS=1 (Clang's integrated assembler). Josh
notes:

  With the LLVM assembler not generating section symbols, objtool has no
  way to reference this code when it generates ORC unwinder entries,
  because this code is outside of any ELF function.

  The limitation now being imposed by objtool is that all code must be
  contained in an ELF symbol.  And .L symbols don't create such symbols.

  So basically, you can use an .L symbol *inside* a function or a code
  segment, you just can't use the .L symbol to contain the code using a
  SYM_*_START/END annotation pair.

Fangrui notes that this optimization is helpful for reducing image size
when compiling with -ffunction-sections and -fdata-sections. I have
observed on the order of tens of thousands of symbols for the kernel
images built with those flags.

A patch has been authored against GNU binutils to match this behavior
of not generating unused section symbols ([1]), so this will
also become a problem for users of GNU binutils once they upgrade to 2.36.

Omit the .L prefix on a label so that the assembler will emit an entry
into the symbol table for the label, with STB_LOCAL binding. This
enables objtool to generate proper unwind info here with LLVM_IAS=1 or
GNU binutils 2.36+.
